Today, we salute U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Emonnie Johnson. Emonnie served from 2016-2020 and was discharged as a lance corporal. Without a car of his own, traveling to and from work has been difficult for Johnson. But he has managed to hold down two jobs simultaneously, and his brother and sister have taken him to and from work. This hardship and burden is finally over. As part of the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program, GEICO and Caliber Collision staff presented Johnson with a refurbished 2023 Toyota Camry at a recent ceremony. For 30 years, the program has given restored vehicles to veterans, military families, single mothers, and more people in need. This is the first car Emonnie has ever been able to call his own. “It means a lot. I can start back helping my family out, doing some goodwill and stuff like that — helping other people,” Johnson said. Congrats on the new wheels, Emonnie, and THANK YOU for your service.
